In Memory.

"Suiler little children TO come unto
me, and forbid them not, for of such
is the kingdom of Heaven"
Died, IN this county Sept. 2, 1886,
Harry Bassett, little son of j. w. and
Martha Wicks, aged 5 years, month
and 2l days. Little Harry was sick
twenty days during his long illness
he never tasted food of any sort, was
never heard TO complain. His dis
ease seemed not TO have been under
stood by his physicians, although he
had the best of medical aid. Bright
beyond most children of his age, the
idol of his family and of all who
knew him, would say to the par
ents, brothers and sisters in your loss
of little Harry vacancy is left in the
family circle that no other can fill.
Console yourselves that he has safely
passed over the river and is resting in
the shade with that lovely Being that
once walked the earth with men,
speaking words of comfort to the sor-
rowing aud broken hearted, healing
the sick, calling the dead from the
tomb and restoring them to the liy-
ing, The same good Being said suf-
fer little children to come unto me.
Little Harry died as he had lived, no.
BILE and manly. When his last mo-
ment had come on earth he turned to
his sister, who was performing some
act of sisterly love, and said she need
not, the sentence died unfinished
on his lips. The silver cord was
loosed, the golden bowl was broken
and his spirit returned to the God
who gave it.
We bore him with slow and silent tread
And left him sleeping with the dead,
Then rock him, rock him, gently mother earth,

The Indiana Legislature met last
Thursday and was duly organized.
The Democrats .re-elected Smith
Speaker of the Senate, adopted res
olution declaring him to be the Lieu
tenant Governor ami the legal pre-
siding officer of the Senate and then
proceeded to adopt set of iron clad
rules for the benefit of the Republi-
cans who are trying to steal the SEN
atorship. The House was organized
by the Republicans, w. G. Sayre
being chosen Speaker, and they will
have everything their own way in
that body. The Senate is Democratic
by IL majority and the House has a
Republican majority of 10. The
Democrats refused TO go into the
House chamber to hear the Gov
ernor's message read, as they believed
the Republicans contemplated lock-
ing the doors until they could count
the vote cast for Robertson, in an en-
forced joint session, and then pro-
claim him the Lieutenant Governor
and Speaker of the Senate. Smith,
who is contesting Robertson's right
to tine othce, is at present master of
the situation. The House will count
the vote alone and when Robertson
is refused the seat he claims there
may be division in the Legislature
and high old time generally.

viok's Floral Guide.

Lovers of the beautiful In art and
Horticulture have in store rich treat
in the perusal of Vick's Floral Guide
for the year 1887. Each succeeding
year brings great improvement in
this popular annual, and the present
edition Is far in advance of previous
issues in beauty of exterior, number
and elegance of floral aud vegetable
illustrations, and the large variety of
subjects thoroughly aud practically
treated.
The title illustration, burch of
Pansies, and the page in colors of
"Border and Bedding Plants" are
triumphs of chromo-lithography
which have probably never been ex-
celled, while the hundreds of smaller
illustrations are true to nature and
thoroughly described.
The volume opens with series of
practical articles of great service to
both amateur and professional gar
deners, is followed by faithful illus
trations showing the interior of the
immense Seed House, and then by
engravings of all the leading and rare
varieties of flowers and vegetable,
with directions for their culture.
No pains or expense have been
spared in the production of this vol
ume, and every effort has been made
to render 1t worthy the reputation OF
its publisher, James Wick, Scotsman,
Rochester, N. Y,-N. Y. Tribune,
Dec. 22nd, 1886.
"Vick's Floral Guide is by far the
handsomest seed catalogue that is is
sued in America. 1t is handsomely
bound, and contains illustrations
enough of flowers and vegetable to

We are sorry to see that in most OF
the counties the men who are running
for the Legislature are 10 improve
ment on the last lot of incompetents
who drew pay from the State for
services never rendered. In many
counties the same members, with
brazen efl'rontery, have offered for re-
election, in the face of record of
general cussedness never before
equaled in the history OF Kentucky
Legislatures. There may be a few
isolated cases where members of the
last Legislature merited an endorse
ment, but it would take search
warrant to find them. What Ken

is legislature composed Of fpractical,

conduct business, private and public,
upon sensible, economical and
